Starmer hits the mark

KEIR STARMER’S development of the approach presented on Sunday by Jeremy Corbyn is far preferable to Theresa May’s immigration-obsessed scenario for Britain leaving the European Union.

It makes clear that, whatever the Liberal Democrats and like-minded schemers in Open Europe may want, the democratic decision taken by the electorate last June 23 must prevail.

Labour is committed to negotiating a positive future relationship with the EU, not with seeking a pretext to dismiss the referendum result as too difficult to achieve or gained through misunderstandings, ignorance or disinformation.
